deb12c Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I can't find a lye calculator that has red palm oil in the list of oils. Does anyone know of one? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Here's info on the red palm. I didn't realize the SAP was so high. When I used it, I just used the SAP for regular palm, but I had a high superfat in that particular recipe, so it turned out ok. I use it in my deer tallow soaps.http://agbangakarite.com/whole_redpalmoil.phpEdited because I forgot to add the link! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why it looks so high. It should be the same as regular palm (which has a KOH SAP of 0.199). (Oh and on the AK info the decimal is missing...)ETA: Soapers Choice has the same SAP range for all varieties of Palm Oil (red,organic, regular, homo) at 0.144 - 0.203) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Thanks. You know Carol, I haven't made that particular soap in a year and I thought that 199 sounded awfully high. I checked my recipe on Soapmaker, and I had used the SAP for regular palm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deb12c Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 Thank you :smiley2: so I can just put "Palm" in the lye calculator and it is the same as Red palm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lsg Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I have used red palm oil four times. Every time, the soap traced superfast. In fact one time it seized up. I don't use nearly as much anymore as I would regular palm oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbren Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I only used it at 5% and had no problem with acceleration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deb12c Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 I used it at 40% (room temp) on Thursday night and it turned out well. As soon as I poured the lye water, it thickend but still used the stick blender for about a minute until it traced. I held my breath while adding the FO but it did well. I used Peach Magnolia Raspberry from tncandlesupply. As soon as my daughter brings the battery for the camera home, I will post a picture in the gallery.
